Traded my rose-colored shades for a wide lens
Oh, good, we're having pregnancy nightmares. Can't imagine where that fits in. Have a selection of links.
1. I suspect these photos of Australian female criminals of the 1920's have been colorized, but A. Cooke still looks great.
2. Bernard Hoffman, "A young female welder adjusts her goggles, Groton, Connecticut, 1943." I haven't been able to find her name, but she was working at the Electric Boat Co.; they built PT boats and submarines. Also, damn.
3. Merril Mushroom's "How to Engage in Courting Rituals 1950s Butch Style in the Bar: An Essay" (1982) is a masterpiece.
4. Courtesy of this article on camp, I am stunned that I cannot remember ever before reading about Marchesa Luisa Casati, because Tanith Lee so obviously knew who she was.
5. A useful refresher on lesbian/bi history from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

I am indeed watching HBO and Sky's Chernobyl (2019), which turns out to contain Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson as well as Jared Harris. I hope to write about it, since two episodes in it's certainly complex enough, but I hoped to write about several movies I watched earlier this month, too, and that hasn't happened yet. My sleep cycle has gone weird again. I need to be not working and that is literally unaffordable.

She was the next generation down from Isabella Stewart Gardner and I can't imagine they ever met, but I was reminded of Gardner walking her lion on Boston Commons, the exclusive sorority of legendary women and very big cats.
